Casey Hayward on Deshaun Watson nearly becoming a Falcon, Aaron Rodgers' greatness, a challenging season with 2021 Raiders

Casey Hayward joins Bryant McFadden to discuss everything from dominating at Vanderbilt to playing cards with Aaron Rodgers & Philip Rivers to the Falcons nearly landing Deshaun Watson. First, we start with Casey's journey beginning as a high school star in the state of Georgia, but a career that didn't result in a ton of elite college offers. Casey explains how he took advantage of his time at Vanderbilt and what it was like to be drafted by the Green Bay Packers and learn under Charles Woodson for a season. As someone that spent 4 years with the Packers organization, Hayward shares his thoughts on Rodgers' relationship with the team and how it has played out over the past two seasons. Next, we move to the next chapter of his career which consisted of four years with the Chargers, 2 All-Pro selections and playing alongside Philip Rivers. Casey spent 2021 with the Raiders and it was a challenging season. He takes us through the hardest parts, a near tie in Week 18 vs his former team and the outlook after adding Davante Adams. Hayward details why he signed with Atlanta and his emotions of dealing with their recent QB rollercoaster. Casey was with Deshaun Watson just a few days before his trade and got the sense that he wanted to be with the Browns. So now, Atlanta has Casey's teammate in Las Vegas last season, Marcus Mariota, as quarterback. What can fans expect?

Patrick Peterson and Bryant McFadden have made a living for their coverage skills on the football field, and while it's a different technique, they're now applying those traits on their podcast 'All Things Covered'. Instead of wide receivers, tight ends and running backs, they'll be covering sports, entertainment, social issues, personal interests and more. Every Wednesday, the 8-time Pro Bowler Peterson and 2-time Super Bowl champion McFadden will discuss what's happening on the gridiron as well as what intrigues them off the field. Each week they'll welcome a star from the sports and entertainment world to have wide-ranging conversations about what interests them. Guests can include active or former football players but also athletes and influencers from other sports and walks of life. Football is how we know our hosts, but far from what defines Pat and BMac. The name says everything; expect all things to be covered! You can also watch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/AllThingsCovered
